Floral Thank You Card

Pin It
I have been a scrapbooker for quite some time, but have recently developed a real affinity for card-making. It just seems to embody all the things I love (supplies!) and the best thing about it is the instant gratification of having a completed card in a (relatively) short period of time! =)

I created this card to enter in the March Hero Arts "Fabulous Flowers" Contest (also new to these contests -- we'll see how that goes!). It has a flower I created by cutting different sized flowers with my Cricut (I cut four at 2.5", two at 2.25", four at 2", two at 1.75", four at 1.5", and two at 1.25") and then rolling the edges till the paper was really soft. Then I stacked them, pierced a hole and secured with a brad. I heat embossed the "Thank You Definition" background stamp on my patterned paper and assembled! Ta-da!!! I was definitely nursing some sore fingers for a bit afterwards, but I thought it was worth it! =)

About Me

I'm just a girl who would rather be playing with paper and scissors and glue (and stamps and inks and ribbons -- oh, my!) than doing just about anything else... I have always enjoyed scrapbooking, but have recently discovered a love for card making and mini albums! I am hoping this blog will be my own little piece of creative real estate where I can share ideas and inspiration (and maybe develop a friendship or two :) with those who may stumble across this site... Thanks for stopping by!
